美国糖尿病协会称成员被逐前存在"威胁"，但承认政策不明确
STAT+: Diabetes association says ‘threat’ preceded members’ ejections, but admits policies were unclear
美国糖尿病协会（ADA）就6月5日新奥尔良科学会议上五名成员被逐事件发布审查说明，称事前存在"书面威胁"将进行抗议和干扰，但同时承认其行为准则未明确规定在会议中心内分发材料属禁止行为。事件后成员发起请愿和1100人抵制，协会旗舰期刊已停止接收稿件和基金评审。
Since five members of the American Diabetes Association were ejected from its scientific session in New Orleans on June 5, the professional organization has released two explanations, one apology, one summary of its review of the events, and one notice of further review. Members have protested through petitions and an 1,100-member boycott. The flagship journal has stopped accepting manuscripts and grant reviews, fundraisers, and educational activities have ceased.
On Friday, the ADA posted a news release about the long-awaited incident review, three days after it disclosed without explanation the departure of Rita Kalyani, its chief medical and scientific officer.
The post offered background for the evictions, citing a “written threat that there would be protest and disruption,” but also backed off from previous explanations, noting that the “ADA’s code of conduct didn’t explicitly state that distributing materials inside the convention center was prohibited.”
